Last night "Dancing with the Stars" improved ABC's Tuesday night performance immensely, albeit getting heavily beaten by FOX's "American Idol." The dancing contest also gave ABC's new comedy "Miss Guided" a solid launching pad.
Nevertheless, ABC sitcoms which air following "Dancing with the Stars" are known to lose a big chunk of their audience once they lose their plum lead-in.
Most recently, "Samantha Who" lost almost two thirds of its 15+ million audience once the 5th cycle of the competition ended last fall. Will "Miss Guided" follow suit on Thursdays?
Meanwhile, CBS' strike-induced line-up of "Big Brother" and "Jericho" remains unimpressive. Don't count on those nuts this year.
Finally, "One Tree Hill" continues to do well for the CW, exceeding its reality lead-in by over 1 million viewers and adding half a million week to week. No need to worry about the ratings, though. OTH has already been renewed for a 6th season.
ABC:
8:00pm It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown (R) (6.32 million)
8:30pm Just for Laughs (5.07 million)
9:00pm Dancing With the Stars (16.8 million)
